I am in my 40s and have seen this multiple times, people temporarily stopping their bigotry for a while because of pressure from friends but then reverting the moment some bigoted group makes them feel good about their bigotry again.

So, by your own words, we should keep them engaged.

  Yes, engaged by acknowledging they have changed but not celebrated by making news stories about it.
